Setting Up Your Amazon Echo & Connect Echo To Wifi If you bought an Amazon Echo, you must be incredibly excited to set it up. Thankfully, the setup doesn't take much time and it is really simple, so you can get right to it. When you are about to start the Amazon echo setup, make sure you have the Echo, your mobile device and your WiFi handy.
Keep the echo plugged in to a power outlet so that there is no chance of a low or dead battery which could interrupt you while you are doing the setup. When you plug the device in, it should light up blue and eventually turn orange, telling you that your device is ready to be setup. Place it 8 inches away from any windows or walls when you are about to start the amazon echo setup. Once you have completed these steps, it is time to download Alexa app. The amazon alexa app is a crucial part of your alexa setup. Without the app, you will not be able to setup the device. You can download the app from the Appstore if you are an iPhone user or the playstore if you use an android phone. There are also versions of the app available that can work on web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge from WiFi enabled computers. You can find the links to the downloads at https//alexa.amazon.com and install the app.
